A Medieval Masterpiece!
Ever play a game that, despite what technical problems may exist, feels like a game that will be talked about years from now? This is one such game. Thanks to a superb set of patches from the developer, this has become an excellent open-world adventure game. The story and setting mesh quite well together; this is 15th century Europe so: - Women have little say in the affairs of state but control the home with an iron fist; - The clergy has as much power over the people as their leige lords do; - Speaking of, feudalism is still in swing (so commoners can't excel too highly in the world unless their lords are exceptionally weak or far-sighted); -The world is steeped in Catholism (Jan Hus is just making his complaints in Prague during the events of the game); Martin Luther and the Reformation are almost two centuries away! You are Henry, a blacksmith's son. Your father is making a sword for the lord of your town, Skalitz. (This means that you can almost taste the priveleges of nobility but never grasp it.) Just as the sword has been finished the town comes under attack from - supposedly - the Hungarians. The sword, the attack, your lord - all will weave their way into a story involving love, revenge, faith and honest work. This game demands role-playing. Want to be a thief? Start sneaking in the woods, backstabbing enemies and pickpocketing from nobility and commoner alike. Want to follow in your father's footsteps? Hit the grindstone and fix those weapons you pilfered off of that brigand's miserable body before you sell them to make enough money to rent a room at the inn. Only through training and constant missteps will you gain levels in skills and become proficient. (The first hunt you partake in will demonstate that in painful detail.) Historically accurate, beautifully realized and a story that is both wide-reaching and personal I cannot recommend this game enough. Say a short prayer to the Lord and be thankful of the bounty you are about to recieve.
